Yup- it is a common Honda color apparently- available on the overseas CB1100, on the Goldwing, on the CBR, VFR, etc..

Best I can tell, it looks like this-

I believe so. It is also a low maintenance colour/finish. That is, no waxing/polishing required.
Well I'll take a Vantablack one, that would be something else.

Oh that's MUCH better- thank you for that!

Any chance you have a more close up on the tank?
I'll have a hunt through my pictures. Otherwise I'll wheel it out later and try taking a couple, although I'm never sure pictures do colours justice.
Cormanus: Did you acquire the CB used?

The exhaust system looks like it saw some action.
I did Au₂O₃. It had 2091 kms on the clock.
